Open this damn door Azra! I heard Violet shouting from outside my room, i woke up but with my headache and went to open the door,how dare you sleep until this time? Don't you know you have to prepare breakfast for all of us here? She asked and i was confused and replied with a question, isn't miss Elizabeth in charge of that? Violet smirked and said, my father cannot going around paying people for the job you can do! Or aren't you being a freeloader here? She took my hand forceful and took me into a kitchen, i was also hungry so i prepared breakfast in which after serving it to the table they ate all of it without leaving me with even a slice of whatever i cooked,mumbled to myself am the real daughter but someone says am freeloading in my father's home. What did you just say? Asked Violet, i didn't repeat anything instead i turned to head upstairs where my room was before i felt being pulled backwards using my hair, i felt a sharp pain as i still had wounds that waited for few weeks to heal and here was my step sister Violet hurting me, stop Violet you are hurting me! Oh! So now you know how to talk!
You better not walk away from me when am still talking to you do you get that? I tried pushing her and thats when my father appeared with my stepmother from their room witnessing Violet falling dramatically on the floor with a loud voice calling her mother, mom do you see what Azra did to me? Vivian rushed towards her daughter and also start to cry and say, Robert do you even see how your daughter mistreats us? Immediately i was alarmed and walked backwards as i saw my father came walking towards me and slapped me again across my cheeks, i stared at him with a disbelief gesture in just two weeks after the death of my mother, my father just slapped me two times and without a warning he yelled at me, how did i even have such a cruel daughter! Why did you push you little sister Azra? Why? Am asking you! I stayed silent as i knew nothing would spare me from the slap which had already landed into my cheecks and as always my step sister was a vulnerable and fragile girl while me i was a vulgar,unruly and violent daughter from my father's point of view.Thats when Violet added fuel to the fire by saying, its okay dad you know my sister how she could be when she is angry please spare her! I apologise on her behalf, she didn't mean to call me a freeloader! Forgive her father please!
Just when my father wanted to add another slap we heard a door being knocked and we looked at each other as we didn't expect any visitors at that time, that's when Vivian went to open the door meanwhile i returned to my room feeling exhausted and in pain i didn't even care who was outside the door that my step mother i heard her welcoming, i chose to lay on the bed continuously looking at my phone waiting for calls or messages from Charles but i got non. Charles was my childhood friend and well you can say boyfriend whom i cherished and after we reached college level of education he went to study abroad, we kept on touch and our circumstances didn't put to an end whatever we had, but when he returned few months back he had changed i didn't even know why as he never explained to me about any mistakes i did during his birthday, all i know Violet volunteered to deliver my gift to Charles' home where the birthday party was held after i couldn't make it when my mother's condition got worse even though i saw how she was okay an hour ago as i heard Violet calling me while i was getting prepared to go to the birthday party, i rushed to my mother's room finding her grasping for air i took inhaler and used to calm her, during the chaos Violet offered to help me deliver the gift though i was reluctant but i had to give into her and decided to stay home while she went there with the gift i prepared for my childhood sweetheart.
I searched for Charles during my mother's funeral but i didn't catch even a sight of him, i was down casted and felt helpless with no one to hold my hand saying everything will be okay. Unbeknown to me my door had flew open and Vivian stepped in and called, you brat! Didn't you hear when i called you? Or you just being disrespectful as always? I was pulled out of my thoughts feeling confused as to what was my step mother doing inside my room, i asked her what did you just asked me? Because i didn't even really hear her clearly! She just said casually, come downstairs your father is calling you right now! And don't even thinking showing off any signs of mistreatment as it won't help you! Then she stormed out and shut my door with a loud bang! I was thinking what was the drama waiting for me downstairs while walking out from my roo to see. In the leaving room i saw three new faces which i didn't even recognise them, a woman among the three said, oh! How beautiful she is i guess mister Baker will like her! As i sat i didn't even know what she meant by saying all that while looking at me. Oh! Suzan dear i wouldn't offend you as i know you like good things. Excuse me! I said, what am i called for? My father said we had a debt in the company and i took money from mister Baker to solve it , but now i can't return the man he lended me, so what does that suppose to mean for me to be called here? Come down Azra can't you see your father has his grievances?aren't you an adult already to understand what this handsome man in front of you doing here?i looked to the so called handsome who displayed his teeth that were cracked and then turned my gaze to Vivian and say, what are you even getting at? What i mean is you have to get married to Mister Baker's son Bryan so that you can relieve your dad from this debt! I was shocked!
